Shivam transformed our compliance operations. What used to be a chaotic filing season is now a smooth, well-documented process. The MIS dashboard alone saved us 15+ hours a month.
As a UAE-incorporated company with Indian promoters, we needed someone who understood both jurisdictions deeply. SG Global was the only firm that could handle both sides seamlessly.
The Virtual CFO engagement gave us financial clarity to raise our Series A. Investors were impressed by the quality of our books and MIS reporting. Worth every rupee.
Our FEMA compliance was a mess before SG Global stepped in. They cleared 2 years of pending filings and set up a clean system going forward. Highly professional team.
Switched to SG Global from a bigger firm and it was the best decision. We now get proactive updates, faster responses, and direct access to the CA on every issue.
UAE Corporate Tax was a completely new territory for us. Shivam guided us through the entire registration, structuring, and first-year return with exceptional clarity.

In most states, GST registration is mandatory only above ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for special category states). However, if you supply goods/services inter-state, operate an e-commerce platform, or make certain notified supplies, registration is mandatory regardless of turnover.
Late filing fee under Section 234F is ₹5,000 (or ₹1,000 if total income is below ₹5 lakh). Additionally, you lose the ability to carry forward certain losses, and interest under Section 234A accrues on the outstanding tax.
On receiving foreign investment, you must report to RBI via FCGPR within 30 days of issue of shares. The FC-TRS form is due within 60 days of transfer of shares. Delay attracts compounding proceedings.

Yes — all UAE entities must register for CT. However, Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) can benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income, provided they maintain adequate substance and meet conditions under Article 18 of the CT Law.
VAT returns are due on the 28th of the month following the end of the tax period. For quarterly filers (January–March quarter), the return and payment are due by April 28. Failure to file on time attracts a AED 1,000 penalty for the first default.
A UAE CT liability arises for UAE-registered entities. Indian-resident directors of UAE companies are not personally taxed in the UAE on salaries, but the company must file its CT return. Cross-border structuring can trigger DTAA and FEMA considerations that we help navigate comprehensively.
